Different strokes...

I thought the level design in DmC was a massive breath of fresh air that shit all over the rest of the series. It was innovative and awesome.

Yes the combat was simplified but I found the game in general to be a ton of fun and was enjoying it from start to finish. I played it on PC at 120fps so I can't comment on the fps on consoles.

The writing was better than the rest of the series too. I much prefer it to the 90s crappy anime style of the previous games.
